Just Awful– Coakley Uses Image of World Trade Center in Attack Ad to Symbolize Greed
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, January 15, 2010, 3:34 PM
Democrat Martha Coakley used a photo of the World Trade Center in her latest attack ad against Republican Scott Brown.
Did she use the image to suggest that she would be tough on terrorists?
No, she used it to represent American greed.
American Power saved a copy of the video attack ad.
Ben Smith reported:
The image in the attack on Scott Brown for his alleged closeness to Wall Street pictures the Trade Center and the destroyed Marriott Hotel on its western side.
A National Republican Senatorial Committee spokesman, Brian Walsh, attacked its use.
“Using the image of a site where over 2,700 Americans died in a terrorist attack to distort Scott Brown’s position on regulating Wall Street is both distasteful and disrespectful. Martha Coakley should immediately renounce this ad and call for it to be removed from the airwaves,” he said.
National Review has more on the latest Coakley controversy.

She’ll cheat her way in…
AVERY commented:
She has no Shame.
Pat the First commented:
Do these Dems have a brain? Good grief . . . that is an abomination.
down with dems commented:
So, let’s follow Martha Coakley’s logic:
The World Trade Center, when still standing, was a symbol of greed to Martha Coakley, and she attempts to demonize Scott Brown by connecting him to this twisted view she holds of the WTC.
If the she thinks the WTC is bad, and she thinks Scott Brown is bad and wants to defeat him, then doesn’t it follow that Martha Coakley doesn’t think 9/11 was a bad thing?
*Don’t forget, Martha Coakley says MISSION ACCOMPLISHED in Afghanistan: there are no more terrorists or Taliban there anymore.
*Martha Coakley also says Devout Catholics shouldn’t work in emergency rooms (which apparently provide abortions now).
*Martha Coakley’s campaign staff physically assaults reporters.
*Martha Coakley is above standing outside Fenway Park in the cold in order to shake your hand.
*Martha Coakley is running for US SENATE, yet the Dems had to bail out her campaign with US HOUSE campaign funds.

Too much!!! commented:
She is so desperate to win that she would throw her mother under a bus if she thought it would help. American greed? How about we know where the Taliban are! What a despicable, thoughtless, crass libtard…well, I would expect no less from this Demorat dinosaur. But, no worries…her little thugs will be working overtime in the cemetary to get all those votes in for her.
Sherry commented:
It’s almost as if, she wants to lose or someone does. It would kill healthcare and allow a graceful exit for the Dems; the Republicans did it to healthcare, not us. We did everything we could.
It’s insane, it’s bizarre, but this is politics we’re talking about, so reality doesn’t really count for much.
ang commented:
Rush just said that Bam Bam is going to stump for her this weekend. ?????
Redwine commented:
Coakley is despicable.
Redwine commented:
ang – I heard that too. Rush pointed out just how well that worked for Corzine in NJ. Dear Leader’s visit could give Brown a landslide.
Heh.
ang commented:
my fear was what he said about their internal polling, cuz if she was losing he wouldnt go there I dunno. Maybe the dems are just desperate.
Floyd Looney commented:
Wow. And Obie is going to campaign for this idiot?
Jessica commented:
This is an obvious sign of desperation.
Their polling must show things are not good for dear ol’ Martha.
Go Scott!
wanumba commented:
How helpful is showing up on Sunday to campaign? Least effort possible? Fly up and fly back. “Hellovoteforkennedycoakleyme-me-me-me-me-bye.”
mike191 commented:
This is not a case of ineptitude but of insanity.No rational person would use a picture of the world trade center to paint an opponent as a tool of Wallstreet .
The good people of Massachusetts have a clear choice in this special election.
wanumba commented:
Be interesting to compare how many public minutes Obama devotes to Coakley’s campaign versus how many minutes Obama devoted to Prof Gates and the “Cops Acted Stupidly” affair.
wanumba commented:
And how many voters were turned off by Obama’s display of a personally-held anti-police bias?
bg commented:

btw, Rush just said they pulled the
ad.. can’t imagine why.. IDiots!!

Iconoclast commented:
OK, this is beyond brain dead; croakley just earned the crown as the world champion ditz. Hands down . . . not even babs boxer comes close to rivaling this babbling bonehead. Please tell me she’s not reproduced.
daryl commented:
Damn! There’s just no limit to how low these people will go but never realize their own greed in going after an office they believe should be considered their inheritance.
pm commented:
Yeah, (#4), that ad sure leads one to believe that she and the Dems, and their Dear Leader, all share the notion that 9/11 wasn’t such a bad thing.
In how many ways will they continue to tell us they despise America?
Time for us to let them know we despise what they’re doing to America.
Sojourner commented:
Using this WTC ad speaks volumes to how tone deaf these Democraps really are.. they remind MA voters of 9/11 which serves only to point attention to the terror attacks of late and BHO and his useful idiots’ massive bungling of the war on terror …they’ve beclowned themselves again!
(GODSPEED, Scott Brown!)
S. Wolf commented:
Americans aren’t greedy except those left wing extremists for power and control over Americans. ‘Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness’ means we decide what makes us happy in life. Not Coakley.
mike commented:
Yes, I agree; how many ways do they have to say they hate America? My brother, a firefighter gave his life at the WTC. The Dems/Left and especially Obama don’t have disregrad for 9/11; they have disdain.
